HTC EVO 4G getting over-the-air update next week?
Posted on June 24, 2010 | No CommentsWord on the street is that Sprint and HTC are hard at work on a software update for the EVO 4G that would start rolling out on the 28th, next Monday. If true, this would be the phone's second update overall -- the first was pushed in concert with the launch in order to fix microSD issues -- and like the first, this one is designed to squash bugs, it seems. We're told this one will "enhance" WiFi (whether that means 802.11n will be enabled, we're not sure), fix some Exchange issues, and improve battery life, all of which would be welcome improvements. Of course, a Froyo update would be even more welcome, but we're just going to have to keep our expectations in check here for the time being.

Five things to know about iOS 4.0
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
Welcome to the future, or at least like the first five minutes of it. iOS 4.0 should be available now for iPhone 3GS and newer (post 2009) iPod Touches. Do you have an iPhone 3G or (shudder) the first iPhone? You're SOL, my Luddite friend. Go back to the commune, you hippie.
I kid, I kid. Why spend the money if you don't need to and besides, we've been playing with iOS 4.0 for a few weeks now and here are our initial comments.
1. Multi-tasking is still in its infancy - Apple gave developers very little time to really go full-bore on the problem of multi-tasking. As a result, you're basically dealing with a form of proto-multi-tasking that may or may not do what you want it to do. MG wrote about this last weekend:
The component that all of these apps share is the ability to do fast app switching. What you may traditionally think of as multitasking isn’t the same on iOS 4. Multiple apps aren’t running all of their functions in the background at once — obviously, this would take up resources and eat up battery life. Instead, Apple allows third-party apps to do certain functions in the background now, as well as create an easy way for all apps to save their states to enable this fast app switching.
So you're not going to go all Minority Report on your apps. You'll be able to switch out of one app - a game, say - to hit a GPS program, but there is no definitive guarantee that you'll be able to swap back into the game where you left off. In fact, Backgrounder, a jailbroken app for background activity, works better than multi-tasking in iOS 4.0 right now. -
Video: Toshiba’s AC100 Tegra netbook runs on Android 2.1
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No Comments
Hot on the heels of the W100 dual touchscreen tablet, Toshiba also unveiled the AC100 today, a 10.1-inch netbook that runs on Android 2.1. One of the big selling points of the AC100, which is the company's first Android machine, is that it can remain in standby mode for up to seven days (the eight hours of battery life aren't too shabby either).

LifeTouch: NEC preps Android-based tablet PC
Posted on June 14, 2010 | No Comments

Dubbed LifeTouch [JP], the NEC tablet will feature a 7-inch TFT LCD screen (800x480 resolution), weigh 400 grams, and run on Android 2.1.

Motorola boosts Milestone XT720 spec with 720MHz CPU and 512MB RAM
Posted on June 10, 2010 | No CommentsSome of you weren't too pleased to see Motorola's new Milestone hitting Europe with just 256MB of memory and a 550MHz processor, and it seems like Moto has listened. We're sure the XT720 would've done just fine running Android 2.1 with its previous spec, but we're hardly going to begrudge a free upgrade. The TI OMAP3440 is now running at 720MHz -- something Motorola had told us the phone was always capable of, though the company had initially opted to downclock away from it, presumably in an effort to extend battery life. RAM gets a healthy doubling to 512MB, bringing the Milestone XT720 more in line with its "premium multimedia" boast, while the launch date seems to remain unaltered: later this month for Europe and a big fat question mark for the USA.

Sprint EVO 4G is officially Sprint’s fastest-selling device
Posted on June 7, 2010 | No Comments
Sprint have just proudly announced that their new hotness, the EVO 4G (reviewed here and here), has beaten the Palm Pre and Samsung Instinct to become their fastest selling device ever.
And by "beaten" I mean "obliterated": the Palm Pre and Samsung Instinct were tied as Sprint's previous best sellers, but the EVO 4G sold more than three times as many units in it's first day than the two of them did combined over their first 3 days.
